# What is the PIN next to my Application ID, and when should I rotate it?

The PIN is the second half of the pair that allows diagnostic logs to be sent from your install. Anyone with **both** your Application ID and the PIN could push debug logs from it, which is why support asks for both and nobody else should have them.

Click **Rotate** in **Settings → Notifications** whenever you want to revoke that ability — for example once a support case is closed. The old PIN stops working straight away.
